The Border

Dansk Rakkerpak (DK)
A tragicomic and universal performance about refugees and border guards.

Under foreign skies – in a distant land – at an unspecified time in history, a team of dedicated border guards are trained in the difficult art of keeping unwanted characters out of their land. The best border guard is selected to rule over a border barrier at a remote destination. Power rises immediately to his head and his first act is to expel his comrades. The border barrier is closed, and his former colleagues are now helplessly trapped in No Man’s land.

DURATION:

About the company

About the company
Since 1994, Dansk Rakkerpak has developed comic, physical and nonverbal performances, where the audience, regardless of age, social background, and nationality, can meet. With its timed, action-packed, and clichéd style of play, Dansk Rakkerpak can put any problem in humorous relief – without losing its seriousness. www.danskrakkerpak.dk/graensen
